Close on the heels of the financial crisis of 2007-08,

John Maynard Keynes has been rediscovered and reinvented;

I feel vindicated, amply rewarded and greatly honoured for

My admiration for Keynes for long even while the

Mainstream economics, market economics led by

Rational expectation fame Robert Lucas and others

Discredited Keynes and Keynesian economics and

Calling them as interesting fairy tales and treating them

As a matter of no consequence or significance on

Both theoretical side  and practical plane.

Like an ordinary devotee elevated to an exalted status

And an affectionate mother taken care of by his son,

I feel vindicated by my infatuation with Keynes.

My illiteracy of econometrics and my critical inability

To get attracted by the mathematization of the subject

Have all proved to be a blessing in disguise.
